CAMIQ Inc. was founded in early 1990 under the name Centre d’Analyse du Marché Industriel Québécois and incorporated on March 17th, 1991 under the name CAMIQ Inc. Our mission at the time was to supply technical training resources and expertise to various manufacturers of industrial products in Québec. The training programs, administered by retired or semi-retired experts in their fields, covered areas such as compressor maintenance, lubrification, vibration analysis, and bearing installation and maintenance.

As we progressed, we were asked to supply other kinds of training in the fields of leadership, employee selection, time management, presentation skills, and conflict resolution. A training contract with Pratt & Whitney Canada in early 1991 allowed us to discover Herrmann International, creator of the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI). After obtaining the various certifications required by Herrmann International, we started promoting the HBDI in Canada. It is at this point in time, early 1991, that our name changed to CAMIQ Inc., thus making it easy to remember and to pronounce in all parts of the country.

In 1999, at the suggestion of one of our client, we looked into the numerous assessments supplied by TTI (Target Training International). Assessments such as DISC, PIAV, Trimetrix, 3600 and others were used to complement the HBDI. We were then able to redefine our mission to read Recruit, Train and Retain Top Performers! In other words, we helped our clients find the right candidate, seat him in the right seat on the right bus going in the right direction.

In 2008, after being exposed to several interesting Strategic Thinking concepts, we were again on the road to redefining our mission. Looking at our business on a more global scale, we started repositioning CAMIQ Inc. to Helping Leaders Translate their Vision into Reality. This new orientation required a paradigm shift that brought CAMIQ Inc. to offer new services, programs and ressources to our clients.

This new, redesigned web site is the first step in our growth plans and new offerings such as our emphasis on Strategic Development.
